Ohhhhh yeah. I see many scans on a daily basis. Lord help those that
connect without a properly configured firewall. You'll be damned if you
connect a PC to AOL without a firewall (I saw over 300 scans the one time I
had to connect to the internet using AOL while on the road). Internally, I
have a home network of Windows machines. They all run BlackIce Defender in
paranoid mode. It hasn't popped yet to indicate the badguys have succeeded
in getting to my home network.
Now, I must say I NAT my traffic. There is a way in...but very tightly
controlled. Which reminds me...

I had my firewall down and I got hit!
Given the choice, I would go with cable or anything other than
Verison/DirectTV DSL.
